Rapier550

Rapier is an intoxicating mix.  

The bespoke internal specification, superb build quality and the innovative, contemporary, and luxurious interiors that Broadblue Catamarans are renowned for, with the added incentive of a true racing heritage –  so you can expect outstanding, class leading performance, enhanced by intelligent electronics and navigation, and radically simple, and straightforward sail handling.

Speed.

Broadblue Rapiers go even faster.

They do. It’s a fact. You can comfortably passage plan at 12 knots  which means that you arrive where you want to be more quickly.

Whether it is a secluded bay, a beautiful beach, an island, or another land, a Broadblue catamaran will get you there more quickly, and in more comfort than you had dreamed possible.

Simplicity.

Ease of handling.  On your own, or with a crew.

Broadblue catamarans are designed for single or shorthanded sailing. They are fast, responsive and tack quickly and easily.  So they have always capably provided safe, straightforward and absolutely simple sail handling – thanks to our innovative ‘sail station’ concept. (where all the lines and ropes come back to the centre cockpit).

And now the introduction of the most innovative, remotely operated electronics and navigation instruments mean that it is possible to sail with more confidence, and with greater ease and simplicity than ever before.

Bespoke.

The very best individual specification for you. 

Custom built means custom built.

Every Broadblue is built to order. It really is. So we sit down with you and talk – and talk. And whist allowing for sensible budgeting and practical feasibility (just being honest here) you can determine what is most important to you.

Twin owners hulls with luxurious open plan cabins, heads and showers?

One owners hull with one family hull?

Two family hulls to maximise the number of berths?

A walk-in scuba room instead of a forward cabin?

A wall of neatly organised cupboards instead of a study/desk area?

An entire shelved storage room – to facilitate a circumnavigation?

Room for a microwave, larger oven, bigger fridge, separate freezer, a washing machine – and extra water capacity?

All made to order as specified.                         

Of course, it ‘s not just the big things that matter, every detail of your specification – from navigation equipment to energy saving light bulbs will be discussed with and approved by you.   

That’s how we promise you that your new Broadblue will be precisely the boat that you most want it to be.
